Man-Kzin Wars V
by Larry Niven
GIVE
PEACE A CHANCEA
Kzin's instinctively combative responses make for poor diplomatic relations
between species. But now that their "first you scream and then you
leap" approach to interstellar relations have led to three straight losses
to the hairless hominidae of Sol III, there has begun to arise in Kzinti
consciousness the faintest glimmering that there may be a Better Way. And in
the resulting calm between wars, humans and Kzin are beginning to collaborate. Now
the Universe really has something to worry about.
